The bridge deck replacement of eastbound I-44 over River Des Peres was necessary due to the increased traffic load during the I-64 reconstruction. The Missouri Department of Transportation had a very aggressive schedule on this reconstruction project which required the contractor to work long hours and some weekends. Due to the size of this deck, the contractor opted to start the concrete placement on a Friday evening at 5 pm. 1,540 cubic yards of concrete was required for the new bridge deck and was placed at a maximum rate of 120 yards per hour until the pour was complete.
